Muliehunter, IF that rifle is a seven mag Sendero, and has been rechambered to STW, the magazine WILL feed the rounds to the chamber just fine. If you rechamber a seven mag to seven RUM, you have to change the box, and open the frame rails, due to the wider width of the UM case.
My first semi custom that I built years ago, was a LSS, in seven mag. I screwed a #5 Hart barrel into it, chambered to STW, no problems with feeding at all.
I have heard of a few rechambers that do require feeding modifications, and Rugers are in that group. One of the most successful re chambers, was on a Browning Stainless Stalker. My friends rifle had a 26 inch barrel, that shot somewhat ok before the rechamber. It shot like a dream afterwards, because the new cartridge length put the neck in a very good portion of the rifling. That thing STILL shoots like a dream. I'm not sure if he had to modify the rails, or ramp, but I think he didn't have to do anything.

What calibers did the go from/to? I have an A-Bolt II I have been wanting to rebarrel, but have been thinking for ease, money, and convenience just keep it a 7mm RM...
